WINDOW-SHADE SUPPORT AND SHIELD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 17, 1916.

Application filed March 22, 1916. Serial No. 85,982.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JAMES E. CHAMBERS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Memphis, in the county of Shelby and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in VVindow-Shade Supports and Shields; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and

exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, ref-' erence being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures 'of-reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in. window shade supports and shields and it has for its object to provide a support which may be quickly ad-' justed to windows of different widths and the telescoping support being held in adjusted position by pins in the ends of the curtain rollers.

A further object of the invention is to provide curtain supports comprising telescoping shield members having end bracket members adapted to be secured to the inside of the window frame or to the face thereof, said support being so constructed as to carry twin shades.

The invention comprises various details of construction, combinations and arrangements of parts, all as will be more fully hereinafter described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

- My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 is an elevation showing the sup- 40 port secured to the face of a window frame. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the support fastened to the inside of a window frame. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail view of a portion of the support. Fig. 4 is an end View of the same, and Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view taken on line 55 of Fig. 1.

, Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a window frame and A A represent the telescoping members of the shade support, said members having extensions A which are slotted as at A to receive suitable securing nails or screws A, as shown in Fig. l of the drawings, and in Fig. 2 the extensions A are bent inward as indicated by dotted lines and secured to the inner side of the frame. The extensions A are bent back upon themselves as at A (Fig. 5) and are held by lugs A flat against themselves to the point A where they are bent at right angles to form'fianges A and are provided with suitable openings A to receive the gudgeons B of the shade rollers B. Said gudgeons are provided with holes to receive pins or split keys B which serve to secure the gudgeons in place and also to hold the telescoping shield members in adjusted position relative to each other.

What I claim to be new is A shade support comprising a shield provided at its ends with extensions which are folded back upon themselves, said extensions being provided with slots and terminating in inwardly disposed flanges located between .the ends of the shield and which are provided with openings for the reception of gudgeons of shade rollers, one fold of each extension being provided with lugs which overlap the edges of the other fold of the same extension.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

' JAMES EDWARD CHAMBERS.
